====================================================================== TFPIE 2018: First Call for Papers ====================================================================== Trends in Functional Programming in Education Gothenburg, Sweden, 14 June 2018 http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/heather/tfpie2018/ (co-located with TFP 2018) http://www.cse.chalmers.se/~myreen/tfp2018/ ====================================================================== The goal of TFPIE is to gather researchers, teachers and professionals that use, or are interested in the use of, functional programming in education. TFPIE aims to be a venue where novel ideas, classroom-tested ideas and work-in-progress on the use of functional programming in education are discussed. The one-day workshop will foster a spirit of open discussion by having a review process for publication after the workshop. The program chair of TFPIE 2018 will screen submissions to ensure that all presentations are within scope and are of interest to participants. After the workshop, presenters will be invited to submit revised versions of their articles for publication in the journal Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS). Scope ===== TFPIE 2018 welcomes submissions describing techniques used in the classroom, tools used in and/or developed for the classroom and any creative use of functional programming (FP) to aid education in or outside Computer Science. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - FP and beginning CS students - FP and Computational Thinking - FP and Artificial Intelligence - FP in Robotics - FP and Music - Advanced FP for undergraduates - FP in graduate education - Engaging students in research using FP - FP in Programming Languages - FP in the high school curriculum - FP as a stepping stone to other CS topics - FP and Philosophy - The pedagogy of teaching FP - FP and e-learning: MOOCs, automated assessment etc. - Best Lectures – more details below In addition to papers, we are requesting best lecture presentations. What’s your best lecture topic in an FP related course? Do you have a fun way to present FP concepts to novices or perhaps an especially interesting presentation of a difficult topic? In either case, please consider sharing it. Best lecture topics will be selected for presentation based on a short abstract describing the lecture and its interest to TFPIE attendees. Submissions =========== Potential presenters are invited to submit an extended abstract (4-6 pages) or a draft paper (up to 16 pages) in EPTCS style. The authors of accepted presentations will have their preprints and their slides made available on the workshop's website. Papers and abstracts can be submitted via EasyChair at the link below. After the workshop, presenters will be invited to submit (a revised version of) their article for review. The PC will select the best articles for publication in the journal Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS). Articles rejected for presentation and extended abstracts will not be formally reviewed by the PC.
